When I mean “specific,” I mean things like something dedicated to a certain genre, a certain video game, to gaming suggestions, to asking whether you should buy a certain game… anything that isn’t just one catch-all for any video gaming topic. So I’m not including the various !games@instance or !gaming@instance links.
EDIT: There seems to be an issue with kbin that is causing problems with my links and sending some people to the kbin.cafe search results for the community. Will probably make a new post and link to it here when the problem is solved, or copy/paste my source text on a different account.

Not saying this resentfully, honestly curious. What need does reposting my post as a comment with the instance names that I had in parentheses removed fulfill, what benefit is gained? I put the instance names there for communities that have the same name or close to it, and/or cover the same thing, so that you can tell the various same-name links apart. If it does something useful, I’ll be happy to repost this when no more links are submitted with the instance names taken off. Is this kind of like what some people used to do on Reddit, reposting the post as a comment because otherwise mobile users would be unable to copy/paste the content?
For whatever reason, your post is just showing as !community rather than !community@instance.tld. When I click on your links it is taking me to a kbin search results page, while when I click on ram’s links it is taking me to the communities viewed via my instance.
Edit: I’ll just add, I know it sounds like you tried to do it the right way and it didn’t work. But most people don’t even try and just copy/paste the URL as viewed from their instance so thank you for at least making an attempt!
If you look at the source between your post and the OP of this chain, you can see that they haven’t got any special link formatting, but the links will all work correctly for any lemmy user no matter their instance - not sure if kbin handles it correctly.
e.g.
[!destroy\_my\_game](https://programming.dev/c/destroy_my_game) vs !destroy_my_game@programming.dev
I suspect it’s just a convenience thing, since a number of your links point to kbin.cafe search results.
